About Jennifer Bigler: A 12-Year Journey with Living Freely Gluten Free

Welcome to Living Freely Gluten Free, a space where my passion for gluten-free living, recipe creation, and community connection has flourished for over a decade. What started as a personal project to help my family has grown into a platform that inspires and supports gluten-free families around the world. This journey has been one of resilience, creativity, and a deep commitment to making gluten-free living accessible and delicious.

Why I Started Living Freely Gluten Free

Twelve years ago, my family and I faced a major shift in our lives—we discovered that we had multiple food sensitivities, including a need to cut out gluten. As a mom, I was determined to recreate the comfort foods we loved in a way that fit our new dietary needs. It wasn’t easy. Back then, gluten-free recipes weren’t as readily available, and the ones I found often fell short in taste or texture.

So, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work in my own kitchen, experimenting with ingredients and techniques until I created recipes my family genuinely loved. But I knew we couldn’t be the only ones facing these challenges. That’s when the idea for Living Freely Gluten Free was born—a blog to share recipes, tips, and stories that could make life a little easier (and tastier) for other gluten-free families.

12 Years of Growth and Accomplishments

Over the past 12 years, Living Freely Gluten Free has grown into a trusted resource for families navigating gluten-free living. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to achieve milestones that I never imagined when I first started this journey:

  • Published Two Cookbooks: My cookbooks, Living Freely Gluten Free and 101 Incredible Gluten-Free Recipes, are packed with easy-to-follow recipes that bring joy back to the kitchen for gluten-free families. These books reflect years of hard work, trial and error, and a passion for creating food everyone can enjoy.
  • Expanded My Reach: From the blog to social media, Living Freely Gluten Free has become a hub for gluten-free families looking for practical solutions and inspiration. My recipes have been shared widely, and I’ve built a supportive community of like-minded individuals.
  • Collaborated with Brands: I’ve worked with gluten-free and allergy-friendly brands to help them connect with their audience through authentic content creation, influencer marketing, and social media strategy.
  • Inspired Thousands: Whether it’s through a simple banana bread recipe or a heartfelt story about my own journey, my mission has always been to inspire families to thrive on a gluten-free diet.

My Passion for Gluten-Free Living

Living Freely Gluten Free isn’t just a blog—it’s a reflection of my family’s story and my deep passion for helping others. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate a gluten-free lifestyle, especially when you’re just starting out. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to creating resources that are approachable, family-friendly, and, most importantly, delicious.

From everyday meals to special holiday treats, every recipe I share is created with love and the goal of bringing people together around the table—because food should be a source of joy, not stress.
